Pattern Formation in a Spiking Neural-Field of Renewal Neurons

Elucidating the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying neural pattern formation remains an outstanding challenge in Computational Neuroscience. In this paper, we address the issue of understanding the emergence of neural patterns by considering a network ...

Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain-spine interface

Grégoire Courtine, Léonie Asboth, Jocelyne Bloch, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Henri Charles Alexandre Lorach, Thibault Jean Etienne Collin, Anne Marie Lucienne Watrin, Icare Sakr, Sergio Daniel Hernandez, Salif Axel Komi

A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis(1,2). Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enable ...

A spinal cord neuroprosthesis for locomotor deficits due to Parkinson's disease

Auke Ijspeert, Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Jordan Squair, Giuseppe Schiavone, Léonie Asboth, Tomislav Milekovic

People with late-stage Parkinson's disease (PD) often suffer from debilitating locomotor deficits that are resistant to currently available therapies. To alleviate these deficits, we developed a neuroprosthesis operating in closed loop that targets the dor ...

Implanted System for Orthostatic Hypotension in Multiple-System Atrophy

Grégoire Courtine, Léonie Asboth, Jocelyne Bloch, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Jordan Squair, Grégory Didier Dumont, Nicolas Hankov, Sergio Daniel Hernandez, Suje Amir, Maxime Berney

Orthostatic hypotension is a cardinal feature of multiple-system atrophy. The upright posture provokes syncopal episodes that prevent patients from standing and walking for more than brief periods. We implanted a system to restore regulation of blood press ...
